The leaders of Guangdong Province and Dongguan City officially laid the cornerstone for the Songshan Lake Science City on April 22, 2021.

On the morning of April 22, an event to mark the launching of Songshan Lake Science City, as the first start-up area of the comprehensive national science centre in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA), was held in Dongguan.

At the event, the leaders of Guangdong Province and Dongguan City officially laid the cornerstone for the Songshan Lake Science City. Key infrastructure projects including the Greater Bay Area University (Songshan Lake Campus), the City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan), Songshan Lake Future School, and Wei'eshan Scientist Forest Park also began construction the same day.

The comprehensive national science centre is the primary platform for the construction of the national innovation system. In July 2020, the National Development & Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science & Technology approved Dongguan Songshan Lake Science City and Shenzhen Guangming Science City to build the pilot zones for the comprehensive national science centre in GBA. This is also the fourth comprehensive national science centre in China, marking that Songshan Lake Science City has become a new national science and technology strategy platform.
